Wed, 07 Dec 2016 01:01:38 +0000http://timoelliott.com/blog/?p=12908#comment-8501Related to the point of the analytics team owning the problem, they also have to help own the question. Having worked in analytics teams as an outsider, the first question I ask the business owner is “what problem are you trying to solve?”

You’d be surprised how frequently there’s either no problem or a ridiculously trivial problem or–worse–the question being asked can’t help solve the problem! If you’ve done even a halfway competent job of setting up your analytics infrastructure, even if it’s powered by Excel and elbow grease, the chances are that you’ve got much of the relevant data somewhere.

Maybe not easily accessible, maybe not easy to slice and dice perfectly, but a lot of it’s there. But you’ve got to ask the right kinds of questions and make sure your business owners are focusing on solving problems that drive the business.

Now if the CxO asks for some in-depth analysis on a one-off event that impacted .2% of your customers, that’s a different question. A good idea is to dust off that proposal for a Hadoop cluster he/she nixed for cost reasons and say “if we only had this, you’d have had your answer by now…”

Information is truly the backbone behind digital innovation, and by using it properly, companies can improve their products to better service their customers.
